Refreshments at Pisgah.
Pisgah, October 3.-The ladies of
Pisgah church will serve light re?
freshments on Saturday. October 7th,
at 3 p. m.. for the benefit of their
church. The public is cordially in?
vited to attend.
In consequence of complaint hav?
ing been made by Secretary E. I.
Reardon, of the Chamber of Com?
merce, relative to the inefficiency of
labor employed at the A. C. L. freight
depot, an investigation of the condi?
tions existing here was ordered by
General Freight Agent A. W. Ander?
son.
Charles L. Williamson.
The announcement Saturday after?
noon of the death of Capt. Charles L.
Williamson at his home near Gaii
lard's X Roads, was sad news to his
many friends in this city, and a great
shock as well, for few knew of his ill?
ness. Captain Williamson spent last
Tuesday in this city and he was then
apparently in perfect health. He was
ill but a few days, the immediate
cause of death being heart failure.
The funeral services were held at
4 o'clock p. m. Monday at Rembert's
church. Quite a large number of his
friends from this city attended the
services.
Captain Williamson was a public
spirited citizen and always took an
active part in the pollitics of the coun?
ty from 1876 onward. In IS92 he was
elected to the House of Representa?
tives in the most closely contested
campaign this county has ever known.

loss.
The services will be held at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Ella
Browder, 12 OS Divine street, and the
interment was in Elmwood cemetery
yesterday. Death was -caused by can?

HIS BACK BROKEX.
A Terrible Accident to Robert Col?
clough--^-He Has Lost Use of Low?
er Limbs and Will Most
Likely Die.
Robert Colclough, who has been
driving the city's street sprinkler for
several years and who has been one
ot the best hands in the employ of
the city, met with what may prove a
fatal accident Monday morning.
. The sprinkler is kept under a shed
in the rear of the opera house and
Robert was preparing to get out on
the street early and sprinkle before
the wagons from the country com?
menced to come into the city. He
was on the high seat of the sprinkler,
and before he could get his hands on
the lines, the mules started off, and
Robert was pinioned between the seat
and the roof of the shed. The ani?
mals were stopped by another street
hand, who witnessed the accident, ana
when the poor fellow was removed
from his high seat he was suffering
intensely. (
Dr. ^rchie China was summonded
to his assistance and discovered that
his back was broken. Colclough had
even then lost the use of his lower
limbs; he was insensible to any pain
from his waist down, and could not
feel the pricking of a pin.
The chances for his recovery ar?
very smalL In fact, no one looks for
him to get well, and it is better so,
for even if he does recover he will be
a helpless invalid for life.
Street Commissioner White spoke
with great regret of the accident, and
said that it was not often that he has
under' his supervision such an excel?
lent hand as Robert Colclough.

made by Health Officer Reardon
i charging Mr. Wells with having con
I structed two cess pools within one

by Harmon D. Moise, ESQ. Both ad?
mitted the facts as to digging and
construction of the cess pool, and a
fine of $50 each was imposed by the
recorder. Both cases have been ap?
pealed. These make the third case

lace and wore a bridal ; veil cauj
with orange blossoms. . The hoi

After the ceremony an informal :

ago.
The benediction of Joe Jefferson i
Rip Van Winkle "May you live lon
and prosper" was whispered into th
ear of the blushing bride more tha
once during the evening, and the stal

he could and would shield her fror
every possible care during the comin
years.

Sumter, S. C.
Through the instigation of the
Sumter Chamber of Commerce a daily
freight has been put on between Co?
lumbia and Charleston. Heretofore
the train has run only three times per
week, which* placed the wholesale
dealers here at a great disadvantage
when competing with the merchants
of Cahrleston and Columbia. Now
Sumter will be on an equal footing
with them, and will show her sister
cities what Sumter competition
means.
